My Story
Growing up, I was always drawn to both math and graphic design. I discovered UX in my teens as the perfect mix of logic and creativity, which led me to study Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington — a foundation in design thinking, user research, and visual communication.
For the past four years at eBay I grew as a product designer, earning two promotions, contributing to a Facebook Marketplace partnership that drove a 9% stock jump, and leading redesigns that unified core features and shaped eBay's long-term vision.
I still find UX the ideal intersection of my skills — my logical side helps me simplify complex problems while my creative side drives innovative, delightful solutions.
From April 2025 to November 2025 I stepped away from eBay to spend four months backpacking around SE Asia, get married in a castle, and road trip across the US — an experience that deepened my global perspective and brought fresh energy back to my work when I returned to eBay.
